Finding parts for cheap are part of the fun for me. I rarely had to pay the full price for rare parts. But I like to look at blurry pictures and mislabeled local ads to find a gem. I always have been (and still be) a pc gamer but i only had (and still have) crappy / budget systems. I like to collect …

Maybe "NetBurst" would be more appropriate for a title? I guess that Irinkus would be ready with some results too ... We will probably beat everyone else with his beast 😂 I think he have a GTX TITAN X and plans to try an RTX3xxx in it https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?p=1208887#p1208887 https:// …

I probably won't be able to compete for the new categories. I don't think i have other "~good" Pentium4 (or at leat not tested systems). The closest i have is a dual Socket 604 workstation system with a pair of Gallatin Xeons 3.2... but that does not count :D Just as long as they are Netburst! You …

Thanks to your thread, I bought this one. I like this board and it may find a permanent home in a case. For now, it's waiting to be fired up again once I'm bumped out of #1 :D For now everyone focussed on Nvidia. I will definitely give ATI a try while the s423 board is installed. Since I mainly …

Benchmarking is fun!!! Is that your Ti4600 on the picture ? How does it perform compared to the Ti500 ? Its mine! The Ti 500 is faster since it can use older drivers. All the drivers for the Ti 4600 have more cpu overhead. I havnt tested it yet on my S423 tho. I was also thinking about this …

New to me Gf4 Ti 4600 just arrived. Oh ! Do you plan to use it in your s423 system ? This should perform almost exactly like my Quadro4 980XGL (same GPU same freq.

Unimpressive result ... My Quadro FX1100 was somewhat faster (I started with a Northwood 2.8/533 to install and get a baseline) but system crashed, and haven't been able to boot with that card again. Trying some OC of the Willamette, but seems 1.9 is the limit for that one. May try a 1.8 from the …
